I am not taking sides on the issue. I no longer live in Tyrone or the surrounding area so my opinion doesn't apply.
Turbine locations are green circles, numbered. Roads are blue. Solid black line is project boundary.

ON THE MAP ABOVE, TURBINES 1-6 ARE PROHIBITED BY THE FAA AS A HAZARD TO AIRCRAFT
Hi folks,
I copied the sections from the FAA letters to Gamesa for the denied turbines, in case you would like to see what the FAA sent to Gamesa. Each turbine app generates an individual letter from FAA. I copied parts of each letter pertaining to the ones that were denied by the FAA.

** NOTICE OF PRESUMED HAZARD **
The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C.,
Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning:
Structure: Wind Turbine SR - S3
Location: Tyrone, PA
Latitude: 40-43-22.27N NAD 83
Longitude: 78-18-00.82W
Heights: 475 feet above ground level (AGL)
2959 feet above mean sea level (AMSL)
Initial findings of this study indicate that the structure as described exceeds obstruction standards and/or would
have an adverse physical or electromagnetic interference effect upon navigable airspace or air navigation
facilities. Pending resolution of the issues described below, the structure is presumed to be a hazard to air
navigation.
If the structure were reduced in height so as not to exceed 0 feet above ground level (2484 feet above mean sea
level), it would not exceed obstruction standards and a favorable determination could subsequently be issued.
